無論以前的記憶是如何
 
到現在都只是一種懷念了

cheer u up

感謝可愛的msn space,一直在hall發不出這東西。
 
去了詹瑞文先生的lunch talk,由於他之前到了7個學校,內容基本一樣,於是參考下Grace的blog吧:

  • 有一個很有趣的實驗是在紙上畫兩個五角星,大的裡邊畫一個小的,然後你要做的是在兩個五角星之間再畫上一個五角星,但是你不能看紙,只能給你一面鏡子,你需要看著鏡子畫完五角星。結果這個看似簡單的任務讓參加的人再畫了一筆以後全部開始像癲癇病發或是精神出問題似的,手抖,筆在紙上狂點、扭曲的點來點去毫無方向感地塗抹,沒有人成功。看的人都覺得很不可思議,估計嘗試的人更覺得有種詭譎的挫敗感。
  •       詹 sir怎麼解釋呢?他說,這是種worry的情緒,一旦改變了原來的習慣,或是遇上什麼迥異於之前的習慣的事,你會開始緊張,depression,但是,worry是會吸引更多的worry的,所以嘗試者一旦第一筆挫敗,後面越來越緊張,方向感就全消失掉了。而後他讓嘗試者干脆閉上眼睛完成她的五角星,結果畫得好多了。
  • 世界的無限可能性。無數possibility,無窮無盡,只需要你去嘗試,打開自己,嘗試。有新的way的時候,對自己說一聲,“why not?“
還有一個實驗:

  • 向上伸直手臂,讓別人按下去,然後自己用力維持手臂伸直。這是每人都懂得的反應。實驗來了,先讓實驗者閉著眼睛,睜開眼然後讓他看兩個圖形,一個類似“U”,一個類似“n”,然後同時讓別人照樣把伸直的手臂按下去。奇怪是當他看見U時仍然可以保持用力,而看到n后就不能維持了。
  • 不知道解釋算不算牽強,還是其他的心理暗示問題。當人看見類似笑臉的U和哭臉的n,竟然有不同的physical reaction.
  • 民眾是否開心是衡量這社會先進與否的一個標準。
如今的狀況固然比較糟糕,我們需要是很多物質幫助的同時,也需要心理的輔助。Jim又用自己的經歷,1日間如何cheer up自己,劇團運營困難,仍然要強裝笑容去演出,達到“人格分裂”的痛苦狀態后。一日后在朋友點醒之下繼續去嘗試不同的出路。而回望轉頭,所有worry其實都是自己嚇著自己,可能會attract更多worry,擔心以後各種不必要的擔心,所以很多人就把自己壓垮了。

無論PIP和Jim的初衷是否真如他所說的那么單純,我也覺得他說的不無道理。各位要cheer up了。
